Personally I think the substitute is thereby weakened. but I have sensed In the Senate a desire not to change the census base. However. there remains a paradox. While the Senate does not want to change the census base it is apparently perfectly willing to change the whole body of our immigration law insofar as deportation. exclusion. and naturalization are concerned. I believe that the burden of proof rests upon the proponents of the McCarran bill to present reasonable evidence as to why we should not change the census base if we are to change everything else. Mr. President. we have tried to offer to the Senate a reasonable bill. I would say it Is a very conservative and moderate measure which corrects certain errors which are obvious on their face. and deals with areas of our immigration policy in a way which every group I know of has agreed to be desirable and profitable and worthy of attention in the interests of the United States.
